Default In need of suggestions-tree skirt progressing

You have been so helpful with this project...one more question. I stitched the cross hatching with the top and batting only, prior to adding beading, bows, etc. I have a little more embellishing to do, and then I need to put the backing on and bind it. (I am going to stitch the seam between the 2 "end panels" closed and the artificial tree will slip into the bound center hole-idea from Paper Princess and her Swooning tree skirt!). Any suggestions on how to secure the backing?? I didn't want to quilt the 3 layers together and then have all of my embellishment stitches showing on the back of the skirt. I thought about doing random FMQ snowflakes? Or should I hand tack the backing along the quilting lines? Thanks again for always being here to help!
